reshacked miranda

awesome...looks great man! i know lots of people will find this useful.

How would you rate Miranda against, say, Trillian? I am interested in trying it out.

Thank you ere.mite.

trillian is bulky and not near as customizable as miranda. its also slower.

miranda is open source, light weight, has a multitude of plug ins, and can be customized to perfection. (although the aim plug in does use the toc protocal, which means you dont get direct im's, etc... but it is a small loss for what you get.)

ill never go back to any other chat client.

What are some good sites for Miranda resources? Also are there must-have plugins? This thing is pretty interesting.

Thanks buddy, I've been using it for a couple weeks now and I still love it. I worship you as a deity :)

i know this isn’t a discussion of the likeability of miranda, but i wanted to share my opinion.

i have been using miranda from using trillian for a while now and have one main complaint. it has been discussed for a long time, and thought of as useless by some; but i like meta contacts. the ability to house several contacts from varying networks into one name. i have a lot of use for it; i use each network for its own features.

however, miranda's current structure doesn’t allow for such a thing, even with plug-ins.

also, the msn plug-in is horribly written and buggy.

along with a few other bugs and visual discrepancies; i still prefer it over even trillian pro.

[do what thou wilt shall]

oh also, i have a question for ere.mite. what version of miranda is this for? as the miranda.exe sometimes changes from nightly to nightly.

can you enlighten us on how this is accomplished. i have done a little resource hacking of the message window, but it seems too much change will cause an error.

[do what thou wilt shall]

I took a look at the hacks made to the dialog while I was modifying my srmm.dll to match (bless those devs for making the message dialog a plugin). The only major change I could see that eremite did was to change the font from 8 pt MS Shell Dlg to 1 pt Arial.

Regarding hacking the message dialog, it's actually quite easy to hack. I've got a copy of a hacked srmm.dll made to be similar to eremites, but it isn't really it (I couldn't wait for a reply from him, so I took matters into my own hands). You only need to keep four things: the history, the input, the divider that separates the two and allows them to be resized, and the send button. Example: I have a one pixel gap between my history and my input fields, which is where that divider (one pixel high) goes. The send button got sized down to 0 pixels by 0 pixels. The only problem with this is that the input field isnt resizeable. Once you touch it (the divider), it (the input field) gets stuck to the bottom, 13 pixels high. But since I'm not planning on ever resizing that portion of my messaging dialog, it's not something I'm worrying about. :)

it was quite easy how i hacked it. the message dialog is kinda tricky to mess with and after spending all day, i set the dialog to a standard font at its lowest size and it produced working results!

i also deleted some.. 2 i think?, controls from the dialog which no longer serve a purpose as they cant even be seen. originally i found that if you deleted certain buttons on the dialog that plug ins wouldnt work such as the smileyadd one, so i went ahead and left everything else on the dialog...

i also hex edited the file to remove ": Message Session" from the window title.. so now all it shows is "Contact (Status)" this could also be changed to simply 'Contact', ofcourse, or perhaps even a static title eh?

its one of the occurances of '%s (%s)' and i dont recall which one... sorry... (i think theres like, 3 or 4 of them..)

well i guess thats all. im sick of typing.

oh i also changed around the text box controls to remove their borders and crap.

forgot something else. this exe is the last released version, not the nightly build.

next time could you zip the file... great file but if it downloaded a little quicker... just that i was a little impatient (damn dialup)

thanks for the file. how did you do the rest reshack? just wonering

stupid me i wasnt looking at it right, nevermind about my question.

*feel like a dumbass and runs away*

:: Negative, I am a meat popsicle. ::

thanks for the clarification and enlightenment.

so, your saying this is from release version 3.2? cool.

[do what thou wilt shall]

or rather, v0.3.2

[do what thou wilt shall]

Woohoo Thanks ere.mite for taking the time to do this I could never be bothered. Cheers and beers

could you get this posted on the miranda site?

Just that it easier to access.

thanx.

probably not... worth a try though if you want.

they should implement the option to set it up like this in the config though.

i already did. and like he says, the nightly build of miranda has the message dialog's, etc in srmm.dll. the same changes can be applied to it.
